Three Public Servants Honored for 25 Years of Dedication in North Rhine-Westphalia

Three employees in North Rhine-Westphalia have been recognised for 25 years of dedicated public service. Their long careers were celebrated at a special ceremony held by the Münster Regional Government.

The honourees included Patrizia Lubitz, who currently serves as an officer and office manager in the regional return coordination unit. She has held this role since 2018. Markus Nowak, a project manager in rural development, joined the department in 2014. Frank Gildemeyer, working in the immigration division of the Münster Regional Council, has been part of the team since 2019.

The certificates were presented by Andreas Bothe, President of the Regional Government, and Dr. Ansgar Scheipers, the Vice President. The event highlighted the employees’ enduring commitment to the state. Karl-Gerhard Strucksberg, another member of the aviation department, has worked there since May 2021.

One of the three honoured employees began their career in 2002 with the Flugregelungskommission des Münsterlandes. This individual was among those formally acknowledged for a quarter-century of service.

The ceremony marked a milestone for the three staff members, each receiving official recognition for their contributions. Their combined decades of work reflect a sustained dedication to public administration in North Rhine-Westphalia.
